Convective available potential energy

In meteorology, convective available potential energy (commonly abbreviated as CAPE) is a measure of the capacity of the atmosphere to support the vertical movement of air that can lead to cloud formation and storms. As air rises in an atmosphere, it expands and cools. CAPE exists when a given mass of air (called an air parcel) can ascend and remain…
